Delirium (15/8), General Brook (5/2), Sharp Reply (11/2), Zoffany Bay (6/1), Native Soldier (7/1), Grams And Ounces (7/1), Nordenfelt (16/1), Distant High (20/1)

Not many of these leap off the page so it may pay to concentrate on two in-form contenders in General Brook and DELERIUM. A narrow vote goes to the latter, who may be open to a little improvement over this longer trip. Bottom-weight Nordenfelt should come on for his recent Bath outing and is respected, along with Native Solider and Zoffany Bay.
